Rakennuvat

Rakennuvat is a Finnish verb form that is typically used to describe ongoing construction or formation of structures. In everyday usage it conveys that multiple objects are in the process of being built or developed.

Grammatically, rakennuvat is a plural present tense form related to the verb rakentua, meaning to be built or to form. It can appear in contexts where the subject is plural and the action is currently underway. In practice it is often used in descriptions of construction projects, urban development, and architectural work, where the emphasis is on progress rather than completion.

Usage and examples. The form is common in news reporting, planning documents, and project updates to indicate that work is still in progress. For example, a statement like The new offices rakennuvat rapidly communicates that the offices are under construction and will be available in the future. The expression can also appear as part of longer phrases describing multiple sites or structures that are under development, such as kaupungin alueen rakennukset rakennuvat edelleen, meaning that the city area’s buildings are still under construction.

Relationship to related concepts. Rakennuvat is connected to the related noun rakente-k, such as rakentaminen (construction), rakennusprojekti (construction project), and rakennus (building). It is distinguished from finished buildings (rakennukset) and from broader processes of construction and development described by other terms.
